The Yamato DX-602C is the 153 L top-capacity model of the DX natural-convection drying-oven family, a constant-temperature gravity-convection oven with a rated maximum operating temperature of 280 °C. The Yamato DX-602C offers the largest chamber in the DX line while retaining the same fan-free gravity airflow and rotating exhaust damper, suiting labs that dry, cure, or condition larger batches or bulkier items. It is the top of the DX capacity ladder.

Application Profile
The 153 L DX-602C is the DX oven for larger drying batches (trays of glassware, bulk samples, prepared media) and for curing and dry-to-constant-weight preparation below 280 °C. Its natural-convection design moves air without a fan, disturbing light samples and powders less than a forced-convection oven and generating fewer airborne particulates, which is useful when drying loose or cleanliness-sensitive material at volume.
Why the Yamato DX-602C fits gravity-convection work
The rotating exhaust damper trades uniformity for moisture removal, closed for a stable soak, opened to vent evolved moisture from a full load. Gravity convection accepts a wider distribution band (±10 °C at 280 °C) and slower recovery in exchange for gentle airflow; where tighter uniformity across a large load is required, a forced-convection oven is the better fit. (See the gravity-vs-forced-convection-oven guide.)
Frequently Asked Questions
What temperature range does the Yamato DX-602C reach? Its rated maximum operating temperature is 280 °C, with distribution accuracy of ±10 °C at 280 °C.
How large is the chamber? The DX-602C offers a 153 L chamber measuring 600 × 510 × 500 mm internally, with two 15 kg-rated shelves.
Why does the DX-602C top out at 280 °C when smaller DX ovens reach 300 °C? The larger 153 L chamber is rated to a 280 °C maximum operating temperature per the brochure specification table; the 28 L and 74 L models are rated to 300 °C.
Is this a forced-air (fan) oven? No. It is a natural-convection (gravity) oven; moisture vents through a rotating exhaust damper.
What voltage does it use? The DX602 base model is rated 100V AC, 14 A (US nominal 115 V). The 220 V sibling is the DX-612C.
Ordering & Configuration
quote-based. The DX-602C is a capital drying oven sold through a quote. At quote we confirm bench/floor service and plug configuration (this 115 V-nominal unit maps to the brochure's 100 V / 14 A rating), target soak temperature (≤ 280 °C), shelf count and loading, and the 700 × 640 × 830 mm footprint with exhaust routing. Warranty terms are confirmed with the quote, and lead time is provided at quotation. Request a quote to configure the DX-602C for your drying or curing workflow.
DX natural-convection family (capacity ladder): DX-302C/312C (28 L) → DX-402C/412C (74 L) → DX-602C/612C (153 L, this unit). Choose the DX line for gentle gravity-convection drying; step up to the programmable DVS series for multi-step ramp/soak recipes, or to a forced-convection oven when tighter uniformity across a full load matters.
